Customer Question

How can I apply for...

How can I apply for a way to work/ job card of some sort, before I get my green card. I already came here to the USA on a K1 visa AND I got married here already. Rapidvisa.com will apply somehow they said but won't say how, along with AOS green card. I don't want to pay $400 just for them to look at my application for a green card. I am not trying to keep going along with the bribe economy. I want to know how to apply to work while waiting for a green card when I apply via simplecitizen.com

Hello my name is ***** ***** I am delighted to answer your questions today. I have 35 years experience as an immigration lawyer.

You don't have to pay anyone to fill out your forms for the adjustment of status.

I can give you the list of forms and what needs to accompany them.

Would you like me to do that? At the same time you file the I-485 to adjust status you will file the I-765 for no additional fee for your work permit. If you file the I-765 alone without the I-485 you have to pay hundreds of dollars for it alone.

please list of forms, what to accompany, and what to include to make sure they know there is no charge to apply for the work permit. thank you

Conditional Resident status is granted for 2 years. You and your spouse have to file a joint petition to remove this conditional status within 90 days of the 2nd anniversary date of the adjustment approval.

You sent something that says she needs a medical exam and must show medical insurance. Why? I said she came on a K1, that required a panel doctor exam in a far away city she flew to for that. then obviously, the sealed envelope had to be opened when she got to the usa, immigration and took it and kept it, for immigatraion office at the aiport.

I hear you and I understand. Despite common sense, the regulations do require a US panel civil surgeon to endorse the I-

If you are a K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 visa holder the I-693 instructions state that you are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. Regardless of if you are exempt from a medical exam, you are still required to complete certain portions of the I-693 and have a Civil Surgeon certify the form (and seal it in an evelope). Specifically, you will complete Part 1 (Information about you) of the I-693 and provide both the form and your DS-3025 (if you have it, proving your vaccination history) and any proof of required vaccinations that were completed prior to entering the US. If you do not have a copy of your DS-3025 you will need to provide sufficient evidence of your vaccination history to the Civil Surgeon (talk to the civil surgeon's office to discuss what vaccination records they accept as proof). If you do not have proof of your vaccination history the Civil Surgeon may insist on re-administering all the required vaccinations prior to completing the I-693. Once the Civil Surgeon has has verified that all required vaccinations have been performed, they will complete form I-693 Part 2 (the vaccination section) and Part 5 (the Civil Surgeon's Certification). They will then seal the form in an envelope and return it to you.

She should have been given back a portion of the I-693 regarding vaccination- If she doesn't have that she needs to take whatever proof she has.

I have 35 years experience with these and a I-693 endorsed by a US panel doc is required as redundant is it might be.

No one ever said immigration laws are reasonable or rational or logical.
